Entry sign to the city of Melitopol (Мелітополь), made in Friz Quadrata Bold, with Cyrillic letters. Paratype does offer a Cyrillic version of this typeface, but theirs has different forms for Л and Ь than what’s featured in the sign.

The photo was taken on 18 May 2018. In addition to cherries and cogwheels (for mechanical engineering), the symbols on the right depict honeycombs – Melitopol literally is the “city of honey”.
